I was trolling minerals and stuff and came across a mineral that has been given a name that may only be funny for people like me (MEN). It is a real mineral
But i think everyone wouldnt mind owning a few specimens.

Has anyone else found minerals or anything with an interesting name?

And there I was imagining a sordid affair between a senior geologist and junior where over hot steamy cardiovascular exercise one of them promised to " name this discovery in memory of you darling"
